Abstract

The family ${\mathcal{F}}_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}}$ of orientation-preserving harmonic functions $f=h+\overline{g}$ in the unit disc $\mathbb{D}$ (normalised in the standard way) satisfying

$$\begin{eqnarray}h^{\prime }(z)+g^{\prime }(z)=\frac{1}{(1+\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}z)(1+\overline{\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}}z)},\quad z\in \mathbb{D},\end{eqnarray}$$
for some $\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}\in \unicode[STIX]{x2202}\mathbb{D}$ , along with their rotations, play an important role among those functions that are harmonic and orientation-preserving and map the unit disc onto a convex domain. The main theorem in this paper generalises results in recent literature by showing that convex combinations of functions in ${\mathcal{F}}_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}}$ are convex.
